Emergencies can happen at any time, often with little warning. While we can't always predict when a disaster or emergency will occur, we can take steps now to be better prepared when it does. Being prepared means understanding the risks around you, having a plan for your family, maintaining essential supplies, and knowing how to respond when every second counts.

National Preparedness Month is about more than protecting yourself. It's about protecting your loved ones, supporting your community, and building the confidence to face unexpected challenges. Small actions taken today can reduce stress, improve safety, and make recovery easier when emergencies arise.

Throughout this series, we'll share practical tips and resources to help you strengthen your emergency preparedness and ensure you're ready for whatever comes your way.

Metallurgical coal occupies a unique position in the energy transition. Steel is a critical component of renewable energy infrastructure, including wind turbines, solar farms, transmission towers, and electric vehicles. As a result, much of the infrastructure driving the shift to cleaner energy today is made from steel that is still largely produced using metallurgical coal. While the industry is working to develop lower-emission steelmaking technologies, metallurgical coal remains a key ingredient in producing the steel needed to build the renewable energy systems of the future.

Metallurgical coal is not a single product, but a category of coal used in steelmaking. While many people use the terms metallurgical coal and coking coal interchangeably, the International Energy Agency (IEA) defines metallurgical coal as a broader group that includes coking coal, semi-soft coal, and pulverized coal injection (PCI) coal, each serving a different role in the steel production process.

Coking coal is the most important type, accounting for roughly two-thirds of global metallurgical coal use. It is heated in the absence of oxygen to produce coke, a hard, carbon-rich material that provides both the heat and structural support needed inside blast furnaces. Because coke is essential for efficiently converting iron ore into iron, coking coal remains a critical input for traditional steelmaking operations around the world.

Metallurgical coal is produced and consumed on a massive scale. Global production exceeds one billion tonnes annually, representing roughly 14% of all coal consumed worldwide. This high level of consumption reflects the continued reliance of the global steel industry on traditional blast furnace technology. As demand for steel remains strong, particularly in developing economies, metallurgical coal continues to be an important industrial commodity.

Metallurgical coal, often called met coal or steelmaking coal, is a specialized type of coal used to produce iron and steel. Unlike thermal coal, which is burned to generate heat and electricity, met coal is a key raw material in blast furnaces. The blast furnace helps convert iron ore into molten iron that is later refined into steel. Met coal typically contains higher carbon levels and lower moisture content than thermal coal, making it better suited for the high-temperature industrial processes required in steelmaking. Because steel is essential for buildings, bridges, vehicles, machinery, renewable energy infrastructure, and other critical construction projects, metallurgical coal plays a vital role in modern industrial development.

It’s back to school season and at Warrior, we give back to the communities where we live and work. Through partnerships and programs like Adopt-A-School, we are proud to support local students and schools while helping strengthen the community.

As students and teachers prepare for a new school year, we're taking August as an opportunity to share more about Warrior and the metallurgical coal industry. Throughout the month, we'll be posting facts and insights about the metallurgical coal industry and the important role it plays in everyday life.

What better way to celebrate National Intern Day than by giving our summer interns a closer look at the history that helped shape our industry?

Today, they took a step back in time with a guided tour of Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark, learning more about Alabama’s iron and coal industries.

Understanding where our industry started gives us a better view of where it’s going. By connecting the past with the present, we hope to inspire the next generation of mining industry leaders.

A big thank you to the Sloss Furnaces team for sharing the stories, innovation, and hard work that helped shape our state. And thank you to our interns for the energy, curiosity, and fresh perspectives they bring to our team.

Coal Mining Excellence: 250 Years of building a Nation (Part 5) - During World War II, coal remained essential to the nation’s strength, powering locomotives, producing steel, generating electricity, and heating American homes.

As one of the largest raw material industries, reliable coal production was critical to both military success abroad and stability at home.

The federal government took direct control of coal mines in 1943 to ensure a steady supply, underscoring how vital coal was to national security during wartime.

Leaders recognized that meeting wartime demands required both strong industry and a dependable workforce to keep production moving.

This period highlighted coal’s central role in supporting the nation’s infrastructure, industry, and war effort during one of the most critical moments in American history.

Coal Mining Excellence: 250 Years of building a Nation (Part 4) - During World War I, U.S. coal production reached a record 680 million short tons in 1918, driven by the demands of a global conflict.

Coal was essential to the war effort, powering naval fleets, generating electricity, fueling coke production, and supporting munitions manufacturing across the country.

As European coal output declined due to wartime destruction and workforce losses, the United States emerged as the world’s leading coal producer.

To meet urgent demand, mining expanded rapidly across Appalachia and the Midwest, with major growth in states like West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Alabama.

The federal government took direct action to secure energy supplies. In 1917, the Lever Act established the U.S. Fuel Administration, which regulated coal prices and wages to stabilize production during wartime.

This moment marked a major shift in the coal industry, strengthening its role in national security, industrial output, and America’s position on the global stage.
